TodayPodvoisky, People’s Commissar for Military
Affairs, sent the following telegram to Kudinsky:

“Inaccordance with the plenary powers given to you, you are to
carry out the following: on the territory of the Ukrainian SovietRepublic your activities must be exactly co-ordinated with those of the
Ukrainian Soviet authorities, hence your extraordinary plenary
powers as regards the subordination of particular organs of power
apply exclusively to the gubernias of Bryansk, Smolensk, Vitebsk,
Orel, Voronezh and Tula.”

Ihope that you will be satisfied with this and that
Kudinsky will comply.
